The first archon of darkness. In Hebrew, cabala, and Gnostic lore, Iadalbaoth is the demiourgos, occupying a position immediately below the 'unknown Father'. In Phoenician mythology, he is one of the 7 elohim, creators of the visible universe. In Ophitic Gnosticism, Iadalbaoth is said to have generated the 7 elohim (angels) in 'his own image'. In Enoch 1, Iadalbaoth is equated with Sammael as the fallen angel and as the supreme hierarch of the order of thrones.
